RADIOFREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

MEASUREMENTS FOR KPCC, PASADENA, CA

MT. WILSON TRANSMITTER SITE

OCTOBER 2008

BY: BEEM CO.ARCADIA, CA

(626) 446-3468

ENGINEERING STATEMENT OF JOEL T. SAXBERG

On October 28, 2008, radiofrequency electromagnetic field

measurements were conducted around the base of KPCC’s main and

auxiliary FM antennas. The main and auxiliary antennas are mounted

on two different towers, one west of the Allcomm building and one east of

the Allcomm building.

MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS - Before taking readings, a study was

made for the auxiliary antenna using equations found in OET-65, the

antenna manufacturers vertical plane relative field and the data found in

the FCC FM database. Power density was calculated on a flat plane two

meters above ground level. The auxiliary antenna contributes a little

over 5% of the maximum permissible exposure level for the general

public from 12 to 16 metes distance. A summary of the calculations is

as follows:

Dist. S Dist. Rel Field Sm m mW/cm²

0 22 0.1 0.00082 22.1 0.14 0.00164 22.4 0.18 0.00266 22.8 0.249 0.00488 23.4 0.314 0.007210 24.2 0.356 0.006712 25.1 0.397 0.010114 26.1 0.426 0.010716 27.2 0.446 0.010818 28.4 0.444 0.009820 29.7 0.429 0.008322 31.1 0.394 0.005424 32.6 0.363 0.005026 34.1 0.308 0.003328 35.6 0.259 0.002130 37.2 0.207 0.001232 38.8 0.176 0.0008

RF Survey – A ten-foot by ten-foot grid was established using spray chalk

on the road in front of and to the east side of the KPCC tower property.

This was on Video Road to the south and on Weathervane Drive to the

east. A Narda Model 8718-10 radiation survey meter and an 8742

shaped E field probe were used to take power density measurements. A

Nardalert XT personal monitor was also used which was purchased new

in November 2004. The manufacturer, L3 Communications calibrated

these instruments. Calibration was completed on the following dates:

8718-10, s/n 01559, calibrated 8/2006

8732, s/n 06012, calibrated 8/2006

8742, s/n 03004, calibrated 8/2006

Method of Measurement – The survey meter was set to read spatial

average values. The survey meter was connected to a shaped E-Field

probe. This probe is set to read percent of standard for “controlled

environments”, which is the occupational standard. General Public

maximum permissible values in the FM and TV broadcast frequencies

are 20% of standard. There are both FM and TV facilities at the KPCC

transmitter site. The towers are fenced and are entered through a locked

gate. Access to the fenced area is for authorized personnel only. The

general public may access areas outside the fence and a paved road runs

directy in front of the KPCC transmitter building. Spatial average

measurements were taken outside the fence around the site at the

marked grid locations. The spatial average reading for each marked

location was called out and the value was recorded. A set of readings

was taken using the KPCC main antenna. A second set of readings was

taken using the KPCC auxiliary antenna. A tabulation of the readings

follows:

The highest spatial average reading occurred at point C12 using the

auxiliary antenna. The reading was 15.61% of the controlled limit or

78% of the uncontrolled (general population limit). No locations outside

the fence and in the immediate vicinity of the KPCC site exceeded the

MPE level for the general public. There were no “hot spots” or

abnormally high readings. Assisting in the site survey was Mr. David

Anderson who recorded the readings as they were called out.
